Anurag Kashyap has revealed that he has five of his directorial ventures will be released in 2025. The filmmaker claimed that he is busier than Shah Rukh Khan and is rejecting three projects per day. Taking to X, Anurag wrote that while he has left Mumbai, he has not stopped making films.
Anurag Kashyap wrote, “I have relocated cities. I have not left filmmaking. For all the people who think I am frustrated and gone. I am here and I am busier than Shah Rukh Khan (I have to be, I don’t make as much money😂). I don’t have dates until 2028.”
He added, “I have five directorial hopefully coming out this year or maybe three now and two early next year. I have the longest IMDB and I am so employed that I say no to 3 projects a day. So pls go suck your own c@&₹ or if you are flexible enough lick your own a&&.”
Last month, in a conversation with The Hindu, the Gangs of Wasseypur director revealed that he has left Mumbai, reiterating his frustration with the Hindi film industry. “I want to stay away from film people. The industry has become too toxic. Everyone is chasing unrealistic targets, trying to make the next Rs 500 or Rs 800 crore film. The creative atmosphere is gone,” he stated.
A source told the publication that Kashyap has likely relocated to Bangalore. This move follows his earlier comments about his disillusionment with Bollywood, where he expressed a desire to work in South Indian cinema for a more fulfilling creative experience. In December last year, Kashyap told The Hollywood Reporter India that he was “disgusted” and “disappointed” with the industry. He explained how filmmakers are pressured to prioritise commercial success over artistic freedom.
“I envy them (South filmmakers). Because now, it’s difficult for me to go out and experiment. Because now, it comes at a cost, which makes my producers think about profit. They’re like, ‘Where are my margins? I’m losing money.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t want to make this movie? Don’t make this movie.’ But I just cannot. Because right from the beginning, before the film starts, it becomes about ‘how do we sell it?’ So the joy of filmmaking is sucked out. That’s why I want to move out. Literally, next year, I’m moving out of Mumbai,” he had said.
